NOTES FOR 8TH GRADE STUDENTS -- 3.20.2007
We need the new presidents pages completely set up by April 3rd. I need someone or a small group to make sure that happens so that we are ready to work with the 3rd grade on that day.
I asked for parent feedback on the pages. Here is what one of them wrote. I suggest that we address any concerns listed here:
Talk to Mr. Black about any new pages you would like to see after Indian Removal. There is a lot more content that we have covered.
Are there any new opinion questions to add?
read a few of the articles and here are my comments:
>
> Articles of Confederation
- Overall well written. A couple grammatical errors in first paragraph
or a word left out. The Problems and Powers were a good comparison. Good
conclusion.
>
> Judicial Branch
- Apart should be two words in the way it is used. Check grammatical
errors. Coverage and Categories are good. Under Term of Office, perhaps you
could reword "but if you really think about it" to sound more professional.
Wouldn't 1/2 be spelled out?
>
> Constitutional Convention
Very Good
>
> Opinions
I read some of them. The students seem to have thought out their answers,
which is great. It's also great that they have opinions on such questions.
>
> Colonial Development
- It might be helpful to mention the three colony groups in the
Introduction or under Immigrants to lead into it more smoothly and give it
more continuity.
>
> Steps to Rebellion
- Good information, but I think an introduction or summary would be
helpful.
Legislative Branch
- Incomplete thought or sentence in the second paragraph. Several typos
in the Duties of the Senate. Why aren't the current Congressmen listed when
the Senators are? Good explanation of this branch of our government.
